Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for a sound system. Speech recognition is performed on input audio data comprising speech input to a sound system. Speech recognition is additionally performed on at least one instance of output audio data comprising speech reproduced by one or more audio speakers of the sound system. A difference between a result of speech recognition performed on the input audio data and a result of speech recognition performed on an instance of corresponding output audio data is determined. The quality of the reproduced speech is determined as unsatisfactory when the difference is greater than or equal to a threshold. A corrective action may be performed, to improve the quality of the speech reproduced by the sound system, if it is determined that the speech quality of the reproduced sound is unsatisfactory.
